Supporting Report for America
Our work is made possible by a range of philanthropic partners who care deeply about the role journalism plays in advancing a free, open society for all people.
Why give to Report for America? It’s impactful. It’s sustainable. It’s highly leveraged. It’s hyper local.
Where the Money Goes
Every $25,000 we raise is matched by $12,500 from the local news organization and $12,500 from local funders, which gets a reporter into the field.
We also spend money on the program itself: training, evaluation, recruitment and more.
Our model is scalable because we’re helping to inject talent and reporting capacity into the most innovative news organizations.
Thank you to the supporters who make this possible
